Well I’ll Eat My Hat,
You are correct, I misread the link.
Wrong: I thought the AVR had the HT Bypass Input (wrong), to convert itself into a simple 2 channel amp, skipping all of it’s processing and deactivating all of it’s speaker outputs except it’s Front L & R. Wouldn't that be a decent budget solution?
I think this is Correct:
It requires both an AVR for HT Surround Sound AND a separate 2 Channel Integrated Amp with HT Bypass feature.
The HT AVR needs FRONT L & R Pre-Out.
HT Bypass is an INPUT on a separate 2 channel Preamp or separate 2 channel Integrated Amp.
here’s a list of ones with that feature I found

Kindly explain what/how the front speakers are wired/powered.
It’s still a case of two amps to one set of front speakers isn’t it?
How does surround sound front l and front r get to the speakers; how does 2 channel music front l & front r get to the speakers.
In each case, what amps are powering the front speakers?
I think both systems must be on and the separate 2 Channel Integrated always powers the front speakers. No front l or r speaker wires from the AVR. Thus the integrated sends any 2 channel source to the front, or it sends the Surround Sound front signals via HT Bypass (should be called HT Front IN IMO).
Yes?
This presumes 2 separate systems, not for the budget minded.
